Elective but Essential: Colonoscopy and Preventive Screenings Are Important for Your Health
Many hospitals and healthcare facilities are delaying elective surgeries and procedures, but it’s important to remember that colonoscopy screenings are essential for good health.
My experience with St. Thomas Medical Group was very nice! I was there for a Colonoscopy and I had a very early appointment. Signed in and had paperwork to register,now the lady at the front desk was not so pleasant to my daughter and myself. The moment I was called back and being peeped for my procedure,the nurses were great! So friendly and up beat! I was a bit nervous ,but I was put at ease,by the nurses. My procedure was right on time and Dr.Bailey was very pleasant ! Before I knew it I was done and on the road home! Dr Bailey explained everything to me about how my procedure went! Fore it being so early in the morning, I was so impressed how everyone was so nice and easy going! I felt that if I needed them,they would be there and help me thru any issue I had! Just want to Thank them for being so nice and caring!!
